Romans Road Evangelism

Romans Road Evangelism

“I love ‘The Roman Road’, as this book of the Holy Scriptures presents the Gospel of Jesus Christ and true Christian doctrine very clearly.” Stephen Michels

WHEN you speak God’s Word, you are speaking divine authority.

“These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.” Titus 2:15

This is a great path to run on when ministering to lost souls.

Laying the foundation: After quoting 2-5 of the 10 Commandments and asking the sinner if he has broken those laws, then you can move into the Romans Road (1 Timothy 1:8-11).

There are many verses in the book of Romans to memorize for ourselves and to share with others in evangelism. In this post let’s keep it brief. Memorizing just these 3 Scripture verses below, all in the same book of Romans, arms the believer with divine power of God’s Word!

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23

(incorporate the next passage with the essential of repentance – turning fully to the LORD Acts 20:21)

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9-10

This disciple has also memorized and loves to use Romans 5:6, 8; 10:13.

The Powerful Effect of Planting the Seed of the Word of God

The lost are blessed to gain saving faith in Christ via His Word.

“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15  And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:14-17

The lost are saved via the all powerful Word of God:

“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” 1 Peter 1:23

“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11

In planting the seed of Christ’s Gospel in the heart of the sinner, personally, I love giving this divine promise below, also in Romans, to sinners…. they will remember it. They can’t rid their mind and heart of this loving promise from our God. Even if they wait till their dying breath to call upon the LORD, as did the thief on the cross, they can still call on the name of Jesus and be saved!

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13

PRAYER: Father, in Jesus’ holy name, please fill my heart and life with Your love and wisdom afresh and grant me a photographic memory for Your Word and use me to lead others to You.
